Shocking culinary tastes

In Mexico, we routinely save pork skin, pickle it in white vinegar with vegetables for a few days and eat them. Like seriously eat them. Now, to us, this isn't really something to be of concern but apparently outside of our culture this seems to be some kind of taboo! If only you saw the looks on people's faces when I explain to them exactly what "cueritos" are, you'd probably laugh.

I've had the idea to make a picture book called "Culinary Shocks" for a while that would basically be a series of photos of people's faces when they're told exactly what some foods are. Balut, "huevos de toro" and fried crickets would be among these.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh so yummy.

As disgusting as that sounds, that's actually pretty tempting based on the photo.

How ya doing, buddy?

My dad and I were talking earlier and he reminded me of another great little treat we would prepare in Mexico when we still lived there; we called it "Coctel Bronco". (Wild Cocktail)

We would take some chocolate Nesquik mix, pour 2 tablespoons into a glass and then, since we usually did this at the ranch with the cows around, we would milk the cow... RIGHT INTO THE GLASS. Add a shot of tequila to the glass, mix and enjoy.

I wish we could do that here but with all the hormones that get put into cows to make them milk out the white stuff, I'm sure that would be tantamount to suicide.
